002 Diamond card

1356 Words
The New Sea Bank, shrouded in mystery throughout the scorching summer, is a peculiar institution. Their scale may not be vast, yet they do not entertain deposits below the multimillion level. In essence, they are a bank tailored exclusively for the affluent. Thanks to their impeccable confidentiality, this bank has become the choice of countless affluent individuals. As Ye Xin dashed towards the location of the bank, his haste was fueled by his utter lack of funds. Every penny he earned at the construction site was promptly handed over to Lin Qingxue and her daughter. He heaved a sigh as he approached. But barely had he taken a few steps when he was intercepted by the security guard at the door. Frowning, the guard scrutinized him and declared, "New Sea Bank does not entertain miscellaneous visitors." Quickly, Ye Xin responded, "I'm here for business." "Business?" The guard smirked skeptically. "Do you even understand the nature of this establishment? How can someone like you conduct business here?" As a security guard at the New Sea Bank, he had witnessed countless clients, most of whom exuded elegance, driving luxury cars or adorned in designer labels. But Ye Xin? Fresh from the construction site, he was covered in grime, his hair tainted with cement dust, and his white vest turning black. He wore a pair of tattered sneakers, resembling nothing short of a beggar! Could someone like him conduct business at the New Sea Bank? "Ye Xin?" At that moment, a familiar voice resonated behind him, causing Ye Xin to tremble involuntarily. The voice was all too familiar—it belonged to his former wife, Lin Qingxue. Slowly turning around, he spotted a gleaming BMW not far away. A man and a woman descended from it, the woman elegantly holding onto the man's arm, exuding an air of intimacy. Ye Xin felt a pang of urgency. They seemed so practiced, as though they had been together for ages. Yet Ye Xin, married for three years, had never even touched her fingertips. "So, this is Ye Xin." The man approached, his tone laced with arrogance. "Your ex-husband?" "In name only," Lin Qingxue retorted disdainfully, casting a disdainful glance at Ye Xin. "He hasn't even touched my finger once. Don't get any ideas!" With that, she introduced, "Ye Xin, meet my boyfriend, Han Shuo. You might have heard of him." Indeed, Ye Xin had heard of him—Han Shuo, the notorious second-generation rich kid of Jiangcheng! His reputation was well-known in Jiangcheng, albeit not for the right reasons. Little did Ye Xin expect that Lin Qingxue's new boyfriend would be him! Han Shuo cast a sly glance at Ye Xin, smiling as he remarked, "Thanks for taking care of Qingxue for three years." Lin Qingxue scoffed, "Take care? What care? He earns barely over ten thousand a month, and I can't even afford a handbag with that. You're lightyears better than him!" This was a blatant humiliation, right in front of Ye Xin! Gritting his teeth, Ye Xin's chest swelled with anger. "Why are you here?" Lin Qingxue furrowed her brows. "I'm here for business," Ye Xin replied calmly. "Hmph!" scoffed Han Shuo. "Business? Can you even enter this establishment?" With that, he swaggered towards the door. The guard didn't stop him; instead, he grinned and ushered, "Young Master Han, this way please!" With Lin Qingxue, disdain written all over her face, holding onto Han Shuo's arm, they walked towards the bank. As they departed, Han Shuo's voice trailed, "Qingxue, I've gifted you a BMW and bought you a 500,000 yuan fund. My sincerity should suffice. Don't bother coming home tonight!" "Oh my!" Lin Qingxue cooed. Watching the scene, Ye Xin's fists clenched tightly! He glanced at the security guard and then headed towards the door again. "Stop!" The guard brandished his stun baton, threateningly. "Leave the premises. You're not qualified to enter!" "I'm here for legitimate business," Ye Xin reiterated. "What's going on?" At that moment, a cold voice emanated from behind them. Ye Xin turned and saw, standing behind him, a tall, elegant woman in uniform with glasses. She looked at Ye Xin and the guard, her brow furrowed slightly. Pinned to her chest was a badge, bearing the name Zou Qianqian. "This person claims to be here for business..." the guard pointed at Ye Xin, "...but I suspect ulterior motives. He shouldn't be allowed in." Zou Qianqian glanced at Ye Xin, her face betraying a hint of wariness, but she still inquired, "You say you're here for business? Is it a deposit, withdrawal, or something else?" "Checking my bank card balance," Ye Xin replied honestly. "Why the fuss?" Zou Qianqian asked, her voice calm. "For checking, you should have your bank card. May I see it?" Ye Xin nodded and pulled out the navy-blue card from his pocket. It was dusty, so he carefully wiped it on his clothes, inadvertently adding more dirt. He scratched his head, feeling embarrassed! At that moment, Zou Qianqian's expression changed abruptly. Staring at the card, her voice trembled slightly, "Diamond... Diamond Card!" Ye Xin was taken aback. Was it real? Could it be that the woman wasn't a fraud? Had he truly been an immensely wealthy individual before? Exhaling deeply, she composed herself. Her chest rose and fell steadily, and after a moment, she smiled at Ye Xin, saying, "Esteemed Diamond Cardholder, the security's misconduct reflects our poor service. I will handle it and provide you with a satisfactory resolution!" Meanwhile, the guard's face turned pale. Clattering! His stun baton fell to the ground, and he stammered, "Res... Respected Diamond Customer, I... I..." Though a security guard, he knew well the significance of a Diamond Cardholder. By stopping such a guest, he might lose his job and even face substantial compensation according to security protocols! Ignoring him, Zou Qianqian turned away. Smiling, she said, "Please follow me! I'll personally assist you." Bewildered, Ye Xin followed her into the bank and straight to the VIP area at the back! With few customers at the New Sea Bank, the lobby was nearly empty except for Lin Qingxue and Han Shuo. Seeing Ye Xin actually entering and heading towards the VIP area, they both wore expressions of astonishment. Two minutes later, the entire bank staff was in an uproar. Someone was on the phone, saying, "Hello, Mr. President, our branch has a Diamond-level customer. Please come to the bank immediately!" Frowning, Lin Qingxue asked the teller, "Hey, miss, is this Diamond customer of very high rank?" The teller smiled sweetly and replied, "Our bank has a tiered system for cards. For example, Mr. Han's card is at the Silver level, accessible with a million deposits. Ten million earns a Gold card, while over a hundred million gets a Platinum. The Diamond card is rarely issued. Since the bank's inception, only nine have been issued!" "What?!" Lin Qingxue was stunned, then looked in disbelief towards the VIP area! Ye Xin, the utterly worthless man besides his brute strength, had a Diamond card? "Impossible!" Lin Qingxue turned to the teller. "That man is my ex-husband. I know what kind of person he is. He's just a laborer with nothing. Don't be fooled by him!" The teller smiled and said, "This matter is beyond our jurisdiction. Our president is on his way and will handle it personally." "Alright, Qingxue, as long as you know who he is." Han Shuo sneered and glanced towards the VIP area. "We don't need to bother with him. Don't let him disrupt our date!" Lin Qingxue obediently nodded. As she left, she turned back to the teller and said, "Please, make sure to thoroughly investigate. This Ye Xin is likely a fraudster. Don't be deceived!" ... Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Xin sat on an incredibly comfortable sofa. Before him, Zou Qianqian handed him a tablet and said, "Enter your password here, and you can check your bank card balance!" Ye Xin sighed and keyed in his birthday according to his ID. Shortly after, the screen in front of him flickered, and a long string of numbers appeared before his eyes!
